Ed2 what's the latest with Traore?

{Ed002's Note - Wolves are beginning to lock down and would accept a good cash offer but fear losing their replacement - so it is less likely right now.}

We have to get used to the situation. FSG won't sanction another transfer unless they sell one of our top players. This is exactly what the Eds have been saying all along.

{Ed0666's Note - hopefully we can sell Origi, and get either Bissouma or Kessie. Eds 002 mentioned Spurs were talking to Kessie if they get him that Will break my heart.

Ed, do you really see kessie offering much more than we have? Fabs and hendo with Thiago? Maybe more legs than hendo has now, but not more leadership. Fabs has the cdm role nailed down, and I don’t see kessie offering what Thiago does on the ball. Given we also have Jones and Elliot to give game time too, and Keita, is that what we need?

{Ed0666's Note - not when you bring logic into the equation but then by that logic we don’t need Bissouma which I think we do. I’d be happy with Kessie or Bissouma and sell Ox/Keita next season.

So Ed0666, would it be a central midfielder we bring in as opposed to a versatile forward if we were to sell more players? It seems we are stacked in that area of the pitch unless we sell Keita or Ox. Also is Neuhaus a no-go now? He is my personal preference.

{Ed0666's Note - I have no idea about transfers am certainly not an ITK. I just say whom I’d wish for Liverpool to sign Eds 002 is the guy to ask if you want the lowdown on transfer news

I am still saying we should sign traore. Contrary to many here i think he is an exactly what we need.
Pace and power and he can provide salah/ mane with much needed rest along with jota. Especially now given our CL group means every Tuesday/ Wednesday we are going to face a champion team and we would need cover for the weekend epl tie or atleast an option on bench.
If the price is right we can go for him but i don't want this to be a jota type deal. We overpaid for jota based on future income and that's a dangerous path if we continue doing that for more players.
If we sell origi and philips and we can get traore with no 'net spend' i think we have a good deal. His end product can improve but i don't think he is lazy. I think he will work under a Manager that will motivate him to work and kloppo is the best man for that.

OP, he’s still not very good, lots of pace and no end product.

He’s the only player I’ve seen one on one who has about a 10% chance of scoring. Shocking finisher.

He was seen earlier having some ready break, topped with a bit of sugar and honey.

He's now been seen trying to tune his TV with no success, so moved on to a 8-10 yrs jigsaw. However, he didn't quite sort the puzzle within the allowed time. Said he was too fast and had no planned finish.

I respectfully disagree Akira. A player who doesn’t score goals cannot adequately replace Mane or Salah to give them a rest.
